deflating tyre mystery?

road · 2017-07-28T10:12:10+01:00

Got an odd one for you. About a week ago I went into the garage and my tyre had completely deflated, I took the tube out, put some air in and couldn't find any holes. Put it back in and it was fine for a couple of days then it deflated while I was at work. Got it home, checked tube again, can't find a leak anywhere, put air in which lasted a few days then goes again. Obviously the simple solution is change it but other than a valve problem, wtf could be happening?

As you said, almost certainly

As you said, almost certainly the valve.

I’ve had this on a couple occasions – could also be a really small puncture, especially along the lines where the tubes are joined together.
